Finding the Right Religious-items for You

Religious art has had an enduring and significant role throughout history and continues to resonate with modern audiences. Over the years, vintage and antique religious artifacts have become popular with collectors and the devout alike, and religious art has been used to express devotion across a range of media.

Historic examples of religious art remain evocative. From the Renaissance to 1800, many Old Masters actively explored sacred themes from Christianity. In the Baroque period, painters infused religious scenes with intense emotions through the technique of chiaroscuro, which uses strong contrasts between light and dark.

From the 18th to 19th century, Gothic Revival saw designers using elements that evoked the Middle Ages. Artists found inspiration in the romantic qualities of medieval paneling, furniture and other accoutrements, such as candelabras, statues and crosses. Works created in the Gothic style add drama and a grandiose elegance to any room.

Religious art reflects the diversity of beliefs around the world. Islamic art and Judaica are just a couple of examples of the vibrant expression that has coursed through faith-based art over the centuries. Sculptures have long depicted the image of Buddha, while intricately carved reliefs have stunningly depicted deities from Hinduism, like Ganesh. Members of Nepalese religions that emphasize shamanism have made ornate drums, artistically enhanced with images of animals like birds.

In some cases, artisans have created pieces that celebrate specific religious holidays such as the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. But even everyday items are an opportunity to bring both art and religion into a space. For example, designers of furniture over the years have drawn on elements found in cathedrals and other religious settings in order to elevate their work.

On 1stDibs, find a varied collection of antique and vintage religious artifacts and other objects that can be searched by style, period, artist and material, such as wood or metal.

Questions About Antique Religious Crosses
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Whether cross jewelry is religious depends on the wearer's beliefs and intentions. For many people, the cross is a symbol of Christianity and wearing jewelry that features a cross is a sign of faith. However, crosses can also have a secular meaning. For example, cross necklaces and earrings are a staple of Goth-style fashion. Shop a large collection of jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023
    Yes, you can wear a cross if you're not religious. There are no rules when it comes to jewelry, so people are free to wear anything that appeals to them. Although some crosses symbolize Christianity, cross necklaces, earrings and other jewelry featuring the shape have become associated with various style subcultures, such as Goth and rocker chic. Shop a large selection of cross jewelry on 1stDibs.
